Not really. You can speak of moral only if you are one of these 5 people who made a "choice". And, in fact, only if you are talking to people, that support your choice. In other case your speaking of moral is nothing more than saying "I'm right because I think I'm right" which isn't really an argument. So, to be able to think about the world more clearly the "neutral position" is invented. There's no moral, no good or bad, there's just stuff that happens, causes and effects. And from that point of view primate, making nuclear weapons and causing extinction of the species is no different from some bacteria, who filled atmosphere with metane. But that, again, has nothing to do with what actual author of this thread was saying. So I'm saying it only to point out that your appeal to morality is invalid. And if you'd ask me, I don't want elephants to extinct, but that doesn't make neutral arguments bad. It might be my position that goes against neutral one, but speaking is not really of much value in that case.
